Description
The short story "Oriental Justice" is about a wealthy American man, Carl Blackly, traveling to "mysterious India," being accused and charged with theft by a shop dealer for not paying for furniture items in his store. The rich American never purchased anything in the store and was being wrongly convicted. Carl's anger toward the man is displayed in his use of sharp racist language. He calls the shop owner a "black half-wit" and refers to the shop owner's country as a hole.
